PET AREA

Transmitter

Key Definitions

Transmitter: Transmits the radio signal and is the centre

of the Pet Area.

Pet Area: The area around the Transmitter where your

pet can roam freely.

Boundary Zone: A 0.6 to 1 m (2 to 3 ft) wide ring

outside the Pet Area where your pet’s Receiver Collar

will begin to beep and then begin to deliver a Static

Correction. The correction will start in the Boundary

Zone and continue anywhere beyond the Pet Area. Note:

The Receiver Collar is equipped with a safety time-out feature

that will stop correcting after 30 seconds if your pet remains

outside the Pet Area.

Receiver Collar: Receives the radio signal from the

Transmitter.

Correction Level Button: Adjusts the level of Static

Correction your pet receives outside the Pet Area.

Receiver Indicator Light: Indicates the level of

correction at which the Receiver Collar is set.This light

also serves as a low battery indicator.

Contact Points: Deliver the safe Static Correction when

your pet moves into the Boundary Zone.

Power Jack: Where the Power Adapter plugs into the

Transmitter.The Transmitter is powered by a standard

220-240 volt outlet.

Boundary Switch:Adjusts the size according to the size

of the Pet Area desired.

Power Light:Indicates when the Transmitter is on.

Boundary Control Dial:Adjusts the distance from the

Transmitter to the Boundary Zone. Note: Adjusting the dial

does not change the level of Static Correction on the Receiver

Collar.

How the System Works

The PetSafeWireless Pet Containment System®has been proven safe, comfortable, and effective for pets over 3.6 kg

(8 lb). The system works by transmitting a radio signal up to 27.5 m (90 ft) in all directions.You temporarily deﬁne the

Pet Area with Boundary Flags for a visual aid in training your pet.Your pet wears a Receiver Collar with Contact Points

that touch his neck, and, once trained, is allowed to roam freely within the Pet Area.When your pet reaches the Boundary

Zone, the Receiver Collar gives a warning beep before delivering a safe Static Correction through the Contact Points to get

his attention until he returns to the Pet Area.

Set Up the Transmitter

Important: You may need to move the Transmitter several times before determining the final location.

The Transmitter is located at the exact centre of the desired Pet Area. Place the Transmitter:

• 0.6 to 1.2 m (2 to 4 ft) above the floor.

• In a dry, well ventilated, protected area.

• In an area where temperatures do not fall below freezing (e.g., garage, basement, shed, cupboard).

• On a non-metal table or mount on a wall (1A). A mounting template is included on the back of this guide.

• At least 1 m (3 ft) from large metal objects, as these items may reduce the size and shape of your Pet Area

(1B).

To maximize your Pet Area, make sure

the Boundary Switch is on “High”

and the Boundary Control Dial is set

to “8” (1C). Plug Power Adapter into

Power Jack and standard 120-volt

outlet.Turn the Transmitter on.

Prepare the Receiver Collar

Your Receiver Collar comes with short Contact Points installed. Use the long Contact Points for pets with long or

thick hair. Remove and retighten the Contact Points using pliers. The Contact Points should be tightened one-half

turn beyond finger tight (2A). Check the tightness weekly.

To Insert and Remove the Battery

Note: Do not install the battery while the Receiver Collar is on your pet.

This process should be carried out within 1.5 m (5 ft) of the Transmitter.

The Receiver Collar utilizes a replaceable PetSafe®battery (RFA-67).This unique battery is designed to make battery

replacement easier and increase water protection.

To insert the battery, align the symbols on the battery (arrow) and Receiver Collar (triangle) (2B). Use a large coin

to turn the battery clockwise until the arrow lines up with the lock symbol on the housing (2C) .

To remove the battery, turn the battery anti-clockwise using a large coin (2D, 2E). DO NOT attempt to cut into or

pry open the battery. Be sure to discard the used battery properly.

A replacement PetSafe®battery (RFA-67) can be found at many retailers. Contact the Customer Care Centre or

visit our web site at www.petsafe.net to locate a retailer near you.

Adjust the Pet Area to Desired Size

Make sure the entire Pet Area lies within your property boundaries (3A). Always start

determining the Boundary Zone at the shortest distance from Transmitter. Place the

Boundary Switch on “High” for Boundary Zones more than 13.5 m (45 ft) from the

Transmitter. For Boundary Zones below this distance place the Boundary Switch on “Low.”

Two-Person Method

Hold the Receiver Collar at your pet’s neck height (3B) with the Petsafe logo facing away

from the Transmitter (3C). Walk to the edge of the desired Pet Area. Facing away from the

Transmitter, hold the Receiver Collar at the edge of the desired Pet Area (3D).

Starting with the Boundary Control Dial set to “8”, have a second person turn the dial

down SLOWLY.When the Receiver Collar starts to beep, tell the person to stop turning

the Boundary Control Dial. Record your settings below for future reference.

Fit the Receiver Collar

Important: The proper fit and placement of your Receiver Collar is important for effective training and the Safety of your

pet.The Contact Points must have direct contact with your pet’s skin on the underside of his neck.

To assure a proper fit, please follow these steps:

1. Make sure that the battery is not installed in the Receiver Collar.

2. Start with your pet standing comfortably (5A).

3.To make it easier to hear the warning beep, place the Receiver Collar on your pet with the

PetSafe logo side of the Receiver facing up.

4. Centre the Contact Points underneath your pet’s neck, touching the skin. If your pet has a long

or thick coat, use the enclosed long Contact Points to reach through

the hair. Note: It is sometimes necessary to trim the hair around the

Contact Points to make sure that contact is consistent.

5. Check the tightness of the Receiver Collar by inserting one finger

between the end of a Contact Point and your pet’s neck. The fit

should be snug but not constricting (5B).

6. Allow your pet to wear the collar for several minutes then recheck

the fit. Check the fit again as your pet becomes more comfortable

with the Receiver Collar.

7.Trim the collar as follows (5C):

a. Mark the desired length of the Receiver Collar with a pen. Allow

for growth if your pet is young or grows a thick winter coat.

b. Remove the Receiver Collar from your pet and cut off the excess.

c. Before placing the Receiver Collar back onto your pet, seal the

edge of the cut collar by applying a flame along the frayed edge.

Important: For comfort, safety and effectiveness of product,

please ensure the following:

• During the ﬁrst 2 weeks of training, do not use the training

device on your pet without direct supervision.

• Check the ﬁt to prevent excessive pressure by being able to

insert one ﬁnger between the Contact Point and your pet’s skin.

• Your pet must be carefully examined daily for any signs of a rash or sore.

• If a rash or sore is observed, discontinue the use of the Receiver Collar for a few days.

• If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.

• Your pet’s neck and the Contact Points must be washed weekly with a wash cloth and mild hand soap,

then rinsed thoroughly.

A condition called Pressure Necrosis, which is a devitalization of the skin due to excessive and

prolonged contact against the Contact Points, may occur if the steps above are not followed.

Step

To Re-Thread the Collar

Slide Buckle

Ridges

The slide buckle prevents the collar from becoming loose around

your pet’s neck.

The ridges must be facing up; the collar will slip if it is not prop-

erly threaded.

Be Patient With Your Pet

Important: Proper training of your pet is essential to the success of the PetSafe Wireless Pet

Containment System®. Read this section completely before beginning to train your pet. Remember that

the PetSafe Wireless Pet Containment System®is not a solid barrier.

• Have fun with your pet throughout the training process. Training should be fun,

fair, firm and consistent.

• Train for 10 to 15 minutes at a time. Don’t try to do too much too quickly. More-

frequent short sessions are better than less-frequent longer sessions.

• We suggest a minimum of 14 days of training. Depending on your pet and how he

learns, the training could take more or less time.

• If your pet shows signs of stress, slow down the training schedule, add additional days

of training, or increase the amount of play time with your pet in the Pet Area. Common stress signals include:

- Pet pulling on leash toward the house

- Ears tucked

- Tail down

- Body lowered

- Nervous / frantic movement or stiffening of pet’s body

•Your pet must be completely comfortable near the Boundary Flags at the end of every training session. Spend at

least 5 minutes of “play time” at the completion of each session within 10 feet of the Boundary Flags.

• Finish each training session on a positive note with lots of praise and play.

• Remove the Receiver Collar after each training session.

• Be sure to contain your pet by another means during the training period.

• During training, if you need to take your pet out of the Pet Area, remove the Receiver Collar and either pick

your pet up or put him in the car to pass out of the Pet Area.

•

Even if you think your pet is responding well to the training, complete the entire training. Reinforcement is important!

Training Guide

__________________________________________________

Day 1 - Boundary Flag Awareness

Perform three sessions on day 1, each training session lasting 10-15 minutes.

Goal:

To have your pet learn that the Boundary Flags and warning beep from the Receiver Collar deﬁne the new Pet Area.

Setup:

• Program the Static Correction Level on the Receiver Collar depending on the size and temperament of your pet.

• Put a separate non-metallic collar on your pet’s neck ABOVE the Receiver Collar and attach a lead. Note: Be sure

the extra collar does not put pressure on the Contact Points.

• Have tiny pieces of treats that your pet will ﬁnd desirable available.

• Have your pet’s favorite play toy available.

Phase

10 www.petsafe.net

Steps:

1. Begin by walking your pet on a leash in the Pet Area. Calmly praise and talk to your pet, occasionally giving

treats.

2. Move toward the Boundary Flags (1A). Keep your mood happy and throw treats to the ground.

With full control of your pet on a leash, toss a treat on the outside edge of the ﬂags. As your pet enters the Boundary

Zone to receive the treat, the receiver collar will begin to beep (1B). As your pet remains in the Boundary Zone, he will

receive a mild Static Correction. Allow your pet to stay in the Boundary Zone for 2 seconds then gently help him back

into the Pet Area (1C). Immediately praise and offer your pet a treat as he enters the Pet Area, even if you have helped

with the leash.Wiggle a Boundary Flag to help your pet understand that the discomfort of the Static Correction happens

around the ﬂags.

4. Repeat this process at several different Boundary Flags.Your pet should start to resist going after the treat in the

Boundary Zone. If your pet continues to enter the Boundary Zone, check the ﬁt of his Receiver Collar and allow

him 2-3 seconds in the zone before pulling him back to the Pet Area.

Note: Never allow your pet to eat the treat in the Boundary Zone.

__________________________________________________

Days 2 thru 4 -

Continue Boundary Flag Awareness

Perform three sessions per day, each lasting 10-15 minutes.
